• Sunday school, Bible studies, and small group studies designed to increase our knowledge of scripture and foster spiritual growth.
• Encouraging and supporting members and missionaries in projects and partnerships (locally, nationally, and worldwide) for evangelism, service, and efforts seeking peace and justice.
• Christian service in our community by promoting opportunities for members to use their talents and gifts to witness to the love of Christ.
• Our children and youth and their role in our church family and actively support programs designed to fulfill our congregational vows made to them and their families at baptism.
• Diversity within our congregation and welcome the richness of experience that each one brings to share with our fellowship.
• The heritage of our church and seek to build on the foundation of the saints who have gone before us, respecting one another and rejoicing in the hope of God’s kingdom.
